Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

With the new release of the map imminent, I would like to offer my most sincere apologies to the entire server population, and especially Domochevsky and Zain. When put into Creative Mode, I decided to test out nuclear weapons, with catastrophic results. If you look to the east of my Estate, you will see a massive hole in the ocean floor. This is a direct result of my rampant god complex and the adolescent temptation of blowing stuff up. I am completely responsible for any server backlash in the near future, and I am ready to accept the consequences, whatever they might be.

Just checked the map... Damn...If anyone wants to build an underwater city, they have the perfect starting point right there. All they need to do is find some underwater source blocks to patch it up the rest of the way once they're done.

3Sec: You, presumably, have been watching my Modded SP LP, aff? You saw me explode that nuke underground, right? It made a hole 35 across in STONE, what exactly did you think it would do to softer materials?

I try to be fairly laid back when it comes to server rules. Do your own thing, harm no one else, don't be a ****, basically covers it. And now we need a new rule. Yes, IC2/BC is VERY exciting and offer many wonderful ways to make gigantic damn holes in the map. However, please control yourself, okay? If you make a mess like 3Sec did, CLEAN IT UP. Or, if it is too big or too awkward to do so manually, feel free to ask Domo for a little help. He can use MCEdit in these situations to trim the chunk affected.

I'm not actually mad, 3Sec. I knew someone would eventually set off a nuke or two. But please, try not to make permanent scars in the land, pkay?

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Is there a simple way to have a filler flatten an area, without filling the entire area below it up to the line first?
Built a filler to try and make clearing finished quarries easier. Set it to flatten, and instead of removing all the blocks above, then placing blocks at the bottom it proceeds to try and fill the entire quarry area up with blocks.

Now thinking about it I could of had it set to clear, then set it to fill, with a 3D pattern for both. But hoping there is an easier way.

Interesting hole. How come the Yogscast didn't have a hole like that when Lewis said he had a melt down? Mod upgrade? did he not have a real melt down? Or did 3 sec not isolate/barricade his reactor or cool it?

Assuming that hole hasn't been rollback'd or whatever by now, I have an idea for something to fix it. Or at least, something to put there. If you could put me in crative mode for a bit next time I'm on, I would enact said plan.

Is it my underwater city idea? Or something equally grandiose and impressive?

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Hey! I made the hole, I think I should have at least some say in what happens to it. My idea is that someone cleans up the land edge a bit, builds a floating platform over the precipice (with two way link to the HoT) and calls it 'The Dangers of Creativity'.

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Well, my idea basically consisted of a really tall sandstone tower, sandstone floors at the bottom of the hole, some more sandstone because I like it, possibly some land removal so the hole is just water all around, cascading down into this huge empty space with a giant sandstone tower in it.

It is your giant hole in the ocean, so you should get some say, yeah. I just figured I could make it a bit more aesthetic.

No, no. Sandstone would just look terrible with bedrock. But I agree, that the edges need to be cleaned up somewhat.

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Regarding the hole:

Firstly, I have neither seen Iskandar's SSP LP, or worked personally with IC2 before it was implemented on the server. The original project I was trying to blow up was my own, and I thought that 10 nukes would be the most efficient way of going about it. Call it the scientific method, intellectual curiosity, or just ignorance, but the fact of the matter is that I made an honest mistake. By experimenting with unknown substances, I seem to have violated a rule in some unknown and unwritten book of rules.

Secondly, I will now exercise my artistic license to claim that it is my damn hole, and I will personally maintain it. It will eventually become a fully fledged project of mine, unless Domo decides to get rid of it. An underwater city is not out of the question, but I know that some border gentrification is on order (starting with that pesky floating island thing seen at 13:31 of the video), as well as a teleporter setup that will be made public.

I also find it extremely amusing that I did approximately two months of digging in less than a minute, by Iskandar's calculations.

EDIT: Two of the smaller quarries that you attributed to Xenowrath are mine. I am setting up my own industrial base out there as well.

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Thanks for showing off my bridge and stuff! Ironically, I used to have a much longer tunnel there which also fell to the cropping, and I built that bridge so I could get to my castle site while we were waiting for runecraft to update for 1.8.

If I get caught up with my schoolwork, I'll try to see about getting a second Minecraft going with all the mods so I can come back to the server. I'm still not sure how that's going to go. I probably won't get all industrial like everyone else has, but I'd still like to finish my projects.

Fair enough. You made it, after all. I just had a proposal for something I thought would be cool, if nobody else had a better idea.

Anyways, I have come to a decision. Namely, I'm never going to be able to keep up with the industrial capacity of everyone else on the server. And so, I'm just going to build cool stuff. If anyone wants to commission cool stuff, I'm up for that, too.

Re: Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

Hells yeah. I'd gladly watch this. As for class, maybe go with Spelunker? Bit of a bonus to both mining and defense, there. I'm not sure how Tale of Kingdoms plays out lategame. If you don't expect to be doing any mining, go with Zealot.

In other news, I may have figured out a way to do spontaneous LP commentary on my own LP. Given that this is the main obstacle in recording more of it, this will help greatly. Even if it requires a little bit of extra work on my part, it doesn't require as much extra time as the way I have been doing it. Also, you still get Robo-Destro, so no fear there, Zain.
